Ripme should have an installer #738

Currently ripme is distributed as a jar file that users are expected to just put where ever and run, this approach has some issues with it

  • Ripme can't be included in most linux software repositories as these repositories require the program to be packaged as a rpm or deb installer.

  • Ripme won't get a menu entry unless the user manually creates it

  • If a user doesn't have java installed they'd have to manually install it whereas both deb and rpm installers give the option to list java as a dependency, meaning that it would be installed automatically

The only issue I can see here would be that installing ripme straight into /usr/bin or the like would break ripmes updater as only only root can write to those directories. This problem could be dealt with by install ripme to ~/.local/bin and putting a system link to it in /usr/bin
